It was time to re-invigorate and re-design our version of peer-to-peer mentorship in order for us to be more effective and responsive to the needs of internationally trained professionals and ultimately achieve higher outcomes!
I arrived in Canada and received the “warmest” of welcomes. I came from the Philippines and arrived at Fort McMurray eight days before the wildfire.
The first event of this year’s Smart Connections program themed Leveraging You Presentation Skills was hosted by Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Council ( ERIEC ) on June 15th, 2017 at the Matrix Hotel, Edmonton.
Simply put, if it’s darkest before the dawn, I had to ensure my life got a bit darker before a dawn was ready to break open for me. Sure enough, I stand here today as a success story
I can see myself land in my area of professional expertise in the near future. I extend my sincere thanks for ERIEC and its staff for all their passionate efforts in matching immigrant professionals with mentors who are well acquainted with the Canadian labour market.
